While Scan and Repair is a handy feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it is also the root cause of the error. Hence, you can turn it off to save yourself from the constant barrage of errors popping up. To do so, follow the below-mentioned steps.

  • Open the in-game settings while you are in the lobby.
  • Click on the Interface tab.
  • Here, turn off the Parallax Effects option.

Once done, close the game and restart your device to see the applied changes. This should basically prevent the error from surfacing in the future.

If the issue persists, reinstall the game and ensure that the Parallax effects are turned off. Lastly, you can contact Activision Support and raise a ticket for the issue. The support team is the most well-equipped entity that can resolve the issue, so that might be the way to go.
